After meeting with Song, Yu Ziqing headed to Almsgiving Town.

He needed to inform the New No. Ten about some matters, so the New No. Ten and the death row prisoners could make more preparations.

Once Song went back, the Daqian's plan to attack the White Water Egg's base would undoubtedly be prioritized swiftly.

Hopefully, the New No. Ten wouldn't be caught up in it.

Additionally, this would be an opportunity for the distillery plan to take a big step forward.

Without a crisis within the White Water Egg organization, how would outsiders have a chance?

Especially since Tao Jiajie being a Descent Body made Yu Ziqing almost certain of many things.

Firstly, since the Wig White Water Egg has the ability to use other people's faces.

And previously a Painted Skin White Water Egg appeared.

Then most White Water Eggs likely have the ability to use someone else's face.

This ability would greatly enhance their ability to stay hidden, the ability to thrive by borrowing.

Secondly, the face used by Wig White Water Egg was Tao Jiajie's, a face that is definitely the real Tao Jiajie's face.

Otherwise, he couldn't have easily fooled the Tao Clan members.

After all, when he appeared, he hadn't even reached the Ninth Tier.

If he's not at the Ninth Tier, even if he were an ancestor, the Tao Clan would definitely verify.

Only genuine articles can withstand any verification methods.

Third, Yu Ziqing hadn't figured out something crucial yet.

Back in Shi's records, he had seen the face of the Divine King, and he still remembered it clearly.

No power had attempted to erase his memory of the Divine King's face.

At that time, he had recklessly stared directly at the Divine King's face and eyes.

And still, no changes occurred.

In fact, it was later, because of Shi, that the Wig White Water Egg noticed.

Yu Ziqing had his suspicions back then.

Now, after confirming Tao Jiajie's face as absolutely genuine.

Yu Ziqing probably confirmed.

That Wig White Water Egg absolutely, definitely could not be the Divine King defeated by Shi back then.

Absolutely impossible!

Yu Ziqing only had a rough idea, as the records of the events back then were not detailed or comprehensive.

He didn't know what happened after the Divine King lost to Shi.

That guy surely wasn't outsmarted by Shi just once.

There must have been bigger traps waiting for him later.

Shi counted each step for ten moves ahead, even predicting that after his death, the Refining God Dao would definitely have issues, using True Name to anchor the Refining God Dao.

He couldn't have ignored just the faceless Divine King.

The Divine King must have jumped into subsequent traps.

So the Divine King back then was probably gone.

The current Wig White Water Egg might just be a successor to the Divine King's power.

This can explain another thing.

Wig White Water Egg was beaten by the three paths, its foundation damaged.

Even though he obviously had at least Tenth Tier strength, he descended twice and was killed twice by Yang.

One time was a tragic death of the Descent Body.

Another time, he was directly attacked on the main body by a spell, losing mental stability, and Yang's spell polluted his ability to capture the True Name Seal.

If it were the Divine King from back then, a starving camel is bigger than a horse.

The Divine King had setbacks with Shi back then because Shi was amazing, not because the Divine King was weak.

And even Shi only managed to cause him huge losses.

Yu Ziqing wasn't underestimating Yang, but if Yang were truly confronted by the Divine King from back then, Yang wouldn't succeed so smoothly.

Moreover, that Divine King wouldn't have such a large emotional fluctuation just because he detected the identity of the True Dragon.

The most critical thing is the appearance of Tao Jiajie.

Song provided more detailed intelligence, and Yu Ziqing could speculate further about many things.

That Wig White Water Egg was definitely not the Divine King from back then.

It might even be possible that it was just a human.

The emotional fluctuation seemed so much like that of a human.

This explanation made many things make sense.

Upon arrival at Almsgiving Town, Yu Ziqing waited for the New No. Ten to appear and then began contacting people, proceeding with his thoughts.

Tao Jiajie left this world back then, disappeared without a trace; neither alive nor his body seen.

It's even possible his soul lamp wasn't extinguished.

Yu Ziqing first asked Yang if there were similar individuals, and listed them on a list.

Then he asked Song to help compile a list.

Finally, he sent a letter to Dadui, asking Jia Shisi to compile a list too.

In ancient times, there was Dadui, and now there is Song.

All those who left this world, whether to the Abyss or to the Void.

Any strong person whose whereabouts are unknown, Yu Ziqing wanted all their information.

Yu Ziqing believed if his deduction was correct.

Then the Wig White Water Egg must be one of them.

For the strong, even if they had been dead for ages, their information is hard to completely disappear.

They are akin to the protagonists of an era, unable to leave without a trace.

Since the information on Tao Jiajie could remain, others must also be able to.

If not, then there's definitely a big problem.

After a few days, perhaps aware of the anomaly from Daqian's side, once the real mobilization began, it couldn't be completely hidden.

The New No. Ten quietly arrived at Almsgiving Town with death row prisoners.

"Did you notice an abnormal reaction from Daqian?"

"Yes, they are going to make a move."

"Then you'd better not go back and avoid being exterminated together."

"No, at this time, I must return, mistakes happen when busy, this is the best opportunity.

Moreover, I've already contacted three people outside, under different identities.

No.4, No.11, No.12, all are very interested.
